 The video medium was definitely the most complicated and hard to use for me, but I also found it to be the most communicative. It blends all aspects of media into one, making it very easy to convey whatever message is necessary. For this video my goal was to bombard the viewer with the word truth, zipping by in quick succession so that you don't know quite what the real picture is. I wanted to make the viewer feel confused, overwhelmed, and force the question into their head about 'what is true and what is false'. The video clips helped me show both sides of the story and show how global the effect of wikileaks is, ranging from the US to the UK to Germany and beyond. Then again I wanted to overwhelm the viewer with images to further the confusion of what truth is, and the final message is plainly seen in the last image. 

Out of the media we have practiced, I found video to be the most successful in producing my message. It goes to show that a blend of all forms of communication tends to be the most effective.
